My jack russell has coeigstnve heart failure, that I've kept at bay for many years through supplementation. So, i tried these treats simply for the nutritional value (L-Carnitine is not only good for the brain, but the heart as well). To my surprise, my dog quit his coughing at night. After the 1st batch, I thought maybe it had been a coincidence, so I tried 'em again. Same great result.
